honestly - I'm too busy trying to kill stuff to really focus on making sure to keep my wares at 30/30 and counting how much i make a week from guild traders...

probably between 20 to 50k though...

including but not limited to gold drops, quest rewards, sale of goods and guild contributions (guild leaders).

As a guild leader you want me to include the gold that gets deposited into the guild bank? That's not my gold, nor do I spend it on anything for me. Goes to items such as the guilder trader and occasionally prizes for events etc.

Good point. I've edited the post accordingly. Let's say guild contribution that you keep for yourself and not for anything guild related. Yes, this would make you a less than stellar leader but I wouldn't be surprised if majority of leaders keep some of that for themselves so.

It's a shame when the purpose of polls is contradictory, although it's no more surprising than when any form of bias is apparent in a poll. You start out by explaining that all legitimate means of earning gold are covered, including drops and quest rewards, then you give the lowest option which is capped at 50K and this makes it clear you're really only concerned with traders. You should make that clear in the title, and then exclude other activities than trading - if that's really the basis on which you intend the options to be set.

Otherwise, where is the "less than 1K" option?

My answer to the poll on both my accounts would be a few hundred. That's what's left from drops and quest rewards after deconstructing anything I don't need. The only time I exceed that is if I have the odd session concentrating on stealing and selling/laundering the proceeds in which case it will be more like 2K. I have no interest in the trading system, whether selling or buying.

oHHH kay buddy. Breathe and chill.

I'm perfectly calm thanks. How about addressing the point I made? Are you only concerned with trading, in which case why include other revenues? If not, why not have a lower starting range?

I'm sorry but your point is too unimportant for me to address.

oHHH kay buddy. Breathe and chill.

Okay!

Started to tip below 20K gold from guild trader the last weeks as I have not played so much the last weeks and mostly dungeons who don't give much gold.
Sitting on close to 3 million after the anniversary event motif storm, followed by Morrowind who also had lots of good selling items so I don't bother farming for items who sell.

2.5 million a week. Just by logging in all my 20 characters for 3 minutes a day.

I would assume that is to do writs? Not sure what else you can realistically do in 3 minutes. 20 toons doing 6 master writs doesnt get you anywhere close to 2.5 million (it certainly would have the 2-3 weeks after master writs were released). Also, unless all you do in your spare time is farm mats, no way that is sustainable without a lot of costs associated with buying raw mats.

I do master writs on anywhere from 6-10 toons a day. Since Master writs fell through the floor, its typically just 6 these days. That puts me at about 170k in gold a week, and probably that again or more in gold mats and master writs, but I usually hoard the gold mats. I also prob spend 30-40k a week on mats needed to do said writs.

I have more mats then ill ever use. I bought up all the cheep mats weeks before housing. Im still sitting at 25,000 nirnroot in my bag and over 40k of each equipment writ mat. I have the master writ system figured out and pull in 2-3 master writs per character each day as well. I'm sitting on almost 2k wax and 1.5k of all other legendary mats. I stream writ and eso gold making tutorials and shown the profits i pull in daily.

How long does it take for you to do the writs across your toons each day? I thought these dailies were more lucrative than these numbers. I'm not gonna do them because I don't like crafting.. I just craft so I can be self reliant with gear crafting.

I assume that at least some of the people claiming to do writs in short order are actually crafting a stack of the usual requirements and then on subsequent days they're logging in, picking up a writ and delivering the stuff they made earlier. I suspect therefore that they aren't including in their time estimate the amount of time spent crafting. I could be wrong, of course, but it's certainly the most time-efficient way of doing writs that only have a limited number of requirements.

Greater than 1.5M

Edit: oh, in eso about 10k

As the poll instructions state that you do not have to take cost into it, I assume this is gross income rather than net income or net profit.

I don't think you are giving us the full story here. Through legitimate means, I can believe that with minimal effort and a large stockpile of high value items, you can replace what listings have been sold in the last 24 hours and make this kind of money. But at some point your supply has to dry out, or you have to put in time to replenish what you have sold.

The only alternatives I can see are automated buying programs, running a guild, bots, or a good setup of suppliers - not that I am accusing you of doing anything illegal. It takes me 3 minutes to log in and out of a character, without doing anything.

I spend about 10 minutes, usually twice a week, restocking my traders with items I have been collecting through normal everyday activities and make between 200k and 500k every week. As someone who does not buy low/sell high, my only outlay is time spent in game and the donations I give to my guilds.

However, I do play for more than 30 hours a week across multiple characters, during which I collect and earn items that I sell - so I cannot really say it only takes me 20 minutes a week to make my gold.

100k ish. And been playing since beta.

Alas, my purse holds nothing but Mephala's silk. What tale s/he weaves, I do not know. But it's her/him who made me spend every last septim on frivolities and fancies. I swear it on my collection of 500 Paintings of Autumn, Bolted.

On pc you have the lazy writ addon who automate the process outside of provisioning and alchemy and here I tend to stock up. Could easy do on enchanting too as its just a few used options.

Wait does gold from the thieves guild and selling stolen goods at the fence count? Also my guild trader is inactive.

I rarely sell gear, my gold is from farming.

TL;DR version: I poop gold everytime I cough or sneeze...

Edit: *cough*, *cough*...oops, there goes another 50k out the back door...

wow that's like 5m alone in nirnroot almost lol
